ANNOUNCEMENT OF
BEN i: PERLEY POORE'S BOOK.

Sixty years of a busy journalists
life at Washington are epitomized in
Maj. Ben: Perley Poor's two superb
volumes. One of the admirers of the
Major recently said that at a judici-
ously ripe period of life the Major
stopped growing old, and since then,
like some of the choice Madeira Of
which he writes with so much feeling,
he has only been accommodating boq"et
and flavor" Maj. Poore has been
one of the best known and one of the
most knowing men in Washington
society for halfa century. His is the
sunny temperament delighting in
bright, social intercourse. Yet his
connection with daily journalism and
his position in the U. s. Senate placed
him always in the thick of political
affairs and social gossip. He was ever
in the Washington "Switn," breast
ing the waves with jovial vigor, and
never failing to hear or see what was
said and done.
The Major could never be very
solemn, and in his ripened sketches
of Washington life every phase re-
minds him of half Il dozen amusing
anecdotes. He has rare gift in tell
ing story, and his anecdotes are
inexhaustible.
His book will not only add lustre
to his fame as writer, but is of SO
unique character and so intensely
interesting in matter that it will
prove valuable contribution to the
literature of the country. 1t has
mirth for the mirthful, wit for the
witty, information for all, and we
doubt if it has been equalled by any
subscription book since the war.
Issued by the well-known house of
Hubbard Brothers, 723 Chestnut

TALLAHASSEE TOPICS.
A Running Comment on the Legisla-
lures Work.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, June 6.-After all
the delays and disappointments incident to
the action of the Legislative session just
closed good showing has been made in the
number of bills passed, nearly all of which
were acted on during the last few days OF
the session. About 200 bills were passed,
and among them numbers some of the most
important that have ever been enacted in
Florida.
The railroad commission bill is of prime
Importance and its success or failure is of
serious consequence to the entire State. 1t
is different from the Georgia law chiefly in
its provisions for an appeal from the deci-
sions of the three commissioners to five men,
bers of the Governors Cabinet, who are
constituted a board of revisors with full
power to supervise and regulate the actions
of the Commissioners through the agency of
the appeal process.
TINE TO SELECT GOOD MATERIAL.
Gov. Perry has sixty DAYS in which to So
lect his men for positions of this highly re-.
sponsible commission, and it is to be hoped
he will be fortunate in his selections, as the
success of the measure depends entirely
on the men who compose the commission.
Numerous names have been mentioned in
connection with the position but nothing
has been decided upon, and probably will
not be for several weeks.
THE APPoRTIONMENT EQUITABLE.
The new apportionment of the State is
entirely different from that heretofore ex-
isting, but it is as near equitable as it could
be made No county has more than two
members of the House of Representatives
while twenty-one of the smaller counties
have only one member The Senatorial dis
tricts remain very much as before. with the
exception of one increase in South Florida at
,he expense of West Florida.
THE BALLOT BON PROTECTED.
The election laws have some new features
that may tend to preserve the purity of the
ballot box, and chief among the new pro-
visions is the appointment of supervisor of
registration in each county, by the Gov
ernor, who shall have charge of the matter
of registering all legal voters, and who re-
ceives salary from the State in proportion
to the amount of the services required in
the different counties fvarying population.
The failure of the Board of Health bill is
to be regretted, particularly now that it
would have been so useful in preventing the
spread of yellow fever.
A large number of other bills have been
passed, but have not been approved by the
Governor He still has several days in
which to consider them, and the chances are
that very few will be vetoed Only one veto
has been imposed SO far, and that was of
little consequence

Stark Gossip.

STARK, FLA, June 5-A rainfall of unu-
sual extent occurred here yesterday. The
town was literally flooded with water, and
many of our merchants sustained losses
from leakage, or overlooking of the cutters
from the tin roofs. Messrs. Richard Il Pace
were damaged fully $1,000 Dr. Haynes
dental office was flooded and much valuable
stock destroyed The storm appears to have
gathered and exhausted itself in this imme-
diate vicinity.
Prof. G. E. Looney, who has so success
fully conducted the Starke Institute during
the last three years, has received an offer
from the Sunny South Female Seminary at
Atlanta, and will move to that place during
the next few weeks. The professor and his
family have endeared themselves to the peo-
pie of Starke, who contemplate this loss
with serious regret.
Dr. Henry Taibird has resigned the paste
rate of the Starke Baptist church, owing to
physical infirmitieS, consequent ON advanced
age, and goes to live with relatives at
Switzerland, on the st. Johns. The doc
tor is Is years of age and has been in the
ministry for over fifty years. He was born
and reared below Savannah, on Hilton Head
Island, and belongs to one of the oldest and
wealthest families of South Carolina, his
grandfather having been an officer in the
revolutionary war.
In speaking of the possibilities of Florida
few days ago Prof. G. p. Young, of
Orange College, Starke was heard to re-
mark that he had been raising his own
vegetables here for three years, and during
all that time day had not passed without
having vegetables of some kind fresh from
his gardens, on his table.
The farmers report the crops as looking
unusually well, corn and cotton especially.
The orange crop of this section will be a
large one, notwithstanding unfavorable
reports.
There are many watermelons in market
here, raised in the vicinity, yet the price
asked is rather high for the average pocket

New YORK, June Editor O'Brien was

day, when q reporter asked him if he re-
ceived any important or interesting ones.
They would fill dozen columns in the
papers," was his reply; "but have not had

tional League in Ireland, in meeting assem-

keeping the Irish questions free from the
American issues. Ireland's course appeals to
American lovers of liberty without any dis
tinction of party, and we feel convinced that
no sincere friend will wish us to involve that
sacred cause in any issues that may delay OF
hinder its success.
